Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.

I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents.

Learning about a codebase
Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming
No, "vibe coding" is not a core part of my professional development work. While I do use large language models (LLMs) to assist with coding tasks—such as generating boilerplate code, exploring new approaches, or speeding up prototyping—I always review, test, and ensure I understand the code before using it in any production or critical setting. Responsible software development requires code quality, maintainability, and security, so I use AI as a tool to enhance my workflow, but not as a replacement for my own expertise and judgment.
